Orlando Japan Festival in Kissimmee 2019 - "One Hundred Drummers"
The Orlando Japan Festival is an annual festival celebrating Japanese culture to our community.
On November 17th 2019, the festival was held for the 19th year.
Every year for this special festival, we gather all of our drummers to perform the opening song, "One Hundred Drummers." Japanese Taiko drumming has become widely known along with other Japanese culture (sushi, anime, manga, etc.). But it's not very common to see 100 drummers play all at the same time!

The Orlando Japan Festival is one of the biggest performances of the year, and students would rehearse the "One Hundred Drummers" over and over before the actual performance day!
